A pair of 70s guitar classics from Eric Gale – back to back on a single CD! Ginseng Woman is a wonderfully strong effort from Gale – a player who'd done countless studio work on fusion sessions in the 70s, but who never really broke that strongly as a leader until this set! Gale's... read more

A very unusual album from Russ Garcia – one recorded with a vocal choir singing (mostly) wordlessly on the tunes! The style isn't scatting so much as it is a precursor to modes that would be used more heavily on later soundtracks – an approach that's jazz-based, and often colored with... read more

A wonderful set of work by a jazz guitarist who doesn't get enough love!

A late 60s score by Giorgio Gaslini – his work for the 1969 erotic film Le Sorelle – one with some subtle piano and strings-led sweetness, and some groovier, kind of loungey numbers, too! We know little about the film, but we'd wager that subtlety isn't a strength – which makes... read more

Surprisingly lyrical soundtrack work from Giorgio Gaslini – not nearly as dark as some of his scoring for horror films, or as stark as his avant jazz recordings! The film's a period piece, and Gaslini uses a mix of woodwinds, light strings, and just a bit of keyboards at times – often... read more
